The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
The Martin/Joshua IBF HW Title fight is THEE WORST title fight I EVER saw, and was EVER mistreated to. This fight was God awful, and I mean God awful. I honestly can't think of a HW title fight that sucked and was much of a let down as this one was?! And I have seen a lot of fights.
Maybe it's because Martin didn't want to get back up after the second knockdown, and we knew he didn't want to get back up. Let's put that next to Tyson/Spinks, which was a full round shorter, but at least we knew Spinks could NOT have gotten back up to fight. So we gatta give Spinks a pass.
The only other stinky fights I can think of in the last 30 years was Seldon/Tyson and Wlad/Povetkin. I don't think anything can be worse than those three right there, with Johsua/Martin being the worst title fight!
Name me a HW title fight that sucked as much as Martin/Joshua did. Name one!!

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
Hasim Rahman vs John Ruiz, and a couple other fights from each of those guys, were worse. If you mean Martin was the worst person in a title fight in that time I can't argue, but AJ dealt with him accordingly so I don't know what you are griping about.

The fight stunk. It did not deliver anything. This was a waste of a fight and a title. This fight stunk! At least at the time Ruiz and Rahman were legit guys and fought to the end.... but this fight was pointless aside from the belt being on the line.

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
Martin vs Glazkov was worse. It was a trinket lender match in the first place with no belief either would go far at all. Joshua just cleaned up the mess in short order, reset some of the division. Obvious set ups by defending 'champs' like Bowe v Dokes, Valuev v Beck or Povetkin v Rahman are bad.
-
Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
Absolutely disgraceful, if this was an IBF world title fight somebodys having a big time laff
-
Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
Valuev Haye was insulting to watch.
Been awhile....but I think Seldon vs Hipp was about a jab...even though Hipp looked like he was beaten... I don't remember a single power shot.
Suspect to say Briggs vs Liakhovich. Except round one and the last minute of the last round.
For 10 rounds Briggs posed while sucking air...like a 10round asthma attack.
Kevin Johnson vs Vitali Klitschko. I looked up the stats. Johnson landed 65 punches. 5 power punches.

And maybe Martin is a good champ, but Joshua is something outstanding. I thought it was a good fight. You trying to say Fury was more impressive in beating Wlad ? Or Wilder beating Stiverne ? You trying to tell everyone they were better fights than Martin - Joshua ?
Come on
-
Tyson vs Bonecrusher Smith
-
Briggs Vs Liakhovich is the worst fight I have ever seen by a wide margin.

I'll happily admit I thought it was going to be closer although I always thought AJ would win. I didn't factor in the fact that Martin was just selling his belt and has little or no pride.
as far as worst HW title fight, it's about taste I suppose. I would rather watch this than 12 rounds of Zero action like Wlad v Povetkin or Fury.
And if you think it was a shit fight, there's only 1 person to blame. AJ came out and did what he's supposed to do.

It was crap and a disappointment, but what were you expecting? Hell, Martin is a fighter most of us had never heard of until a few months ago! Happenstance or whimsy....of a drunken boxing God?

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
It was a blow out, not the worst fight. Examples provided of Briggs title fight and Ruiz were worse.

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
Provetkin v rahman was pretty shocking
-
Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
the winner has to be wlad v provertkin
that was horrendous, there should have been a major international Ofcom enquiry

The fight SUCKED!!! That was a terrible fight. The fight SUCKED!!!

Here is a few off the top of my head.Half of Tysons career and the Briggs/Liakhovich fight was like Chinese water torture. Just like most of Wlads career. Chew on that;D

Wlad vs. Povetkin was probably just a bad because it was just as long. But come one man, Martin/Joshua was just absolute shit. It was a total bust and a let down. No effort in this fight at all. There was nothing. I mean, this fight was pure shit!!!

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
For Christ's sake, THE DILLIAN WHYTE fight with Joshua was better than that fight. That now appeared to be the IBF title fight.

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
I watched Briggs/Liakhovich after the event and I sat through it all, I knew what happened so I endured the fight waiting for the ending
anyway, 30 seconds from the end the mrs starts telling me a story, I ask her can she wait 30 seconds and she starts sounding off then, needless to say her paddy lasts much longer than the 30 seconds, so all my endurance for nothing
slag

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
No way Eric would watch that fight. It was a slow death. Anyone with half a brain would have fast forwarded it to the last 30 seconds.

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
I watched it, it was on normal at the time tv and I didn't have the fast forward option

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
Man that briggs fight was a fucking joke then out of no were he gets the ko. I was like wtf just happend also i was kinda sleeping during it and then boom he knocked him out. Briggs was a let down most of the time but for 30 secs he man up enough to be champ i guess bad fight though.

There are countless less than stellar title fights in this sanka division that dwarf Joshua/Martin in the field of terrible. With Martin nobody knew who he was but people, myself included thought he had a shot based on Joshua's newbie appearance in the ring and that he could have a David Price like chin.
Martin seemed confident with a nothing to lose attitude and is a southpaw to boot with heavy hands. Although it looked like he wore his little brother’s shorts he simply got blasted out. Tyson made a living off doing the same thing
I named Tyson off the bat so here is a couple of his. Both total about 8 minutes with some of the introduction.

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
Yeah there was nothing wrong with the actual fight Joshua v Martin, there have been plenty of one sided 1 or 2 round KOs in heavyweight title fights
its what we watch the HWs for
-
Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
Well the thing that keeps a even boring hw fight exiting is that a knock can happen out no were more then any division. Simple because it does not matter how talented that you are if a 230 plus dude hits you on the chin clean shit will happen a chin can only take so much cant make it stronger.

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
I think everyone understands what you are saying, but in this case the opponent, a 'world champ' was so pathetically poor it sucked. Congrats to Hearn for doing his research and taking the gamble, that's pro boxing, but I think this is a sign of things to come, our alphabet heavyweights will take over from the Russians.

Exactly right! It wasn't so much the fight , or that it didn't last long, that's what we expect with HW's. It was one person that was shit.
2 of my most memorable HW World title fights both lasted less than 2 rounds. Frazier v Foreman and Tyson v Berbick.
The difference was, on those 2 occasions, the loser did all he could to continue.

There really was no effort in this for Joshua. His Whyte fight was better. In fact, the Whyte fight is his best fight to date. Dillian Whyte needs to be appraised to fight for another loose title.

Re: The worst HW title fight in 30 years!
Tyson v Smith.
For such a big powerful guy, Boneclutcher was pathetic.
Due to the time difference in the UK, I actually fell asleep during that, only to wake just before the end to see Boneclutcher land the only decent punch he threw all night that actually stunned Tyson to his boots.

Yes it was right at the end when he had nothing to lose. It is the only Tyson fight that I taped over on my vhs.
